Cynthia was born on the New Jersey Shore, the youngest of four daughters. She started swimming, biking, running, and doing aerobics and Jazzercise at an early age. At age 11, she started running road races, and has since completed several half and full marathons. All that running gave her super tight hamstrings, and she needed some stretching in her life. In 2003, she walked her active family to the Blocker YMCA and began her yoga journey.

The Dowd Crowd (4 sons/1 daughter) kept her busy for 24 years while her husband started his medical career and built his practice. When life came to a standstill in 2020 Cynthia completed her yoga teacher training at Organic Roots here in Suffolk. She also teaches pre-k at nansemond-Suffolk Academy.

Cynthia is thrilled to be part of the Yoga Room and hopes to see you soon!

Namaste.
